` tags into my post. It should either insert correctly closed tags, or none at all. I honestly would prefer the former.
In detail: I had HTML code very similar to this:

text

subtext

more text

This was automatically converted to:

text

subtext

more text

Note the extra `

` tag in the above, which is unclosed (making the W3C validator choke on my website).
Also note, I was not using the WYSIWYG editor (turning it off was the first thing I did), so it's unlikely to be due to that.
As a workaround, manually inserting properly closed `

` tags works just fine:

text

subtext

more text

Since this workaround exists, the bug is not very prioritary, but it should also (hopefully) be easy to fix." defect (bug) new normal Future Release Formatting 2.3 normal xhtml needs-patch wpautop
